Aluminum flywheels have been used
for many years for increasing performance. From the earliest days of racing and
street build-ups, the world's best engine builders have been installing aluminum
flywheels to give their engines the needed edge. To achieve the greatest
increase in performance an aluminum flywheel must lower the moment of inertia
characteristics of the engine. Put in simpler terms, we must reduce the amount
of horsepower needed to turn the flywheel so that horsepower can be used to turn
the wheels. Making the flywheel lighter is not as simple as it sounds. Anyone
can take the factory design and then just produce that from aluminum. At Fidanza
Flywheels we take the extra effort to eliminate the weight in areas that make
sense for performance. We do not sacrifice durability. We will not sell a
flywheel that will not hold up to the roughest of drivers and or engines. This
is where Fidanza Flywheels have the edge. Our flywheels give the best increase
in performance but they are also the most durable. What a concept! Anyone can
claim to make a product that far exceeds industry standards but we choose to put
our money where our mouth is. From the very best materials to ground breaking
new designs, Fidanza Flywheels are the finest aluminum flywheels on the market.
Please allow us a moment to introduce you to the most exciting product line to
hit the automotive aftermarket in many years. Let's Talk Quality Fidanza
Flywheels are made using the highest quality and most modern materials
available. The flywheel itself is made from either 6061 T6 or 2024 T3 aluminum
depending on the model. Both of these materials are tempered aluminum which are
very, very strong yet very lightweight. The friction surface is very special. We
use a 1050 high carbon, alloy steel. This alloy is perfect for this use. It is
incredibly durable allowing the use of just about any clutch disc material
available from organic to Kevlar and even sintered iron. We attach the friction
surface using aerospace nuts and bolts or 304 stainless steel rivets depending
on the application. These are some of the best fasteners money can buy. We chose
them because of their incredible shear strength and resistance to corrosion. All
of our ring gears are heat treated for durability. They are heated, pressed on
and then secured using grade 10 fasteners. You will not find better materials
but keep reading because our machining and design process will knock your socks
off. Most companies design their flywheels so that they can be machined quickly
and with the least amount of effort. At Fidanza Flywheels we design our
flywheels to produce the best increase in performance and the most durability.
Sometimes that means sacrificing a little profit on our end but we think you and
your customers will agree, it's well worth it. How Does Fidanza Flywheels Do
That? Fidanza Flywheels are machined and designed to be the very best flywheel
on the market. All of our flywheels are CNC machined. This process gives them
the most accurate dimensions and the best possible finish. We use the very
latest techniques to ensure that our flywheels are innovative and functional.
Our friction surface is laser cut with the fastener holes and chamfers CNC
machined. The pattern for the fasteners is a computer design that keeps the
friction surface from warping. We don't just use more fasteners because we can,
we use them because they are needed.
